biography



Blakhatz Inner city Sydney band blakhatz , together since late 2005, mix it up with retro harmonies, laptop dancing and guitar trio grunt. Not so much salvation but a soundtrack. Scenes include: Bozo Creep- remember to never assume the Mission Statement position in front of the children. The Ballad Of Rusty Grunt - a hotel clerk’s epiphany Ooga Booga Boogie - the Spin Cycle that helps keep us all “on task” Red Hand Rock - take time to be moved by an ancient presence even older than television Falling - love song for the planet Surf’s Down -the good, the bad and the ugly mix it up to a darabouka driven surf beat. Bento Baby - unrequited lunch Tokyo style Brilliant Shine- Come for a drink at the Hope and Optimism – Golden Dreaming all round. Little Kimi - duty puts love on hold, but just like in the unreal world we get the threat of a happy ending. River Between Us - a song for friends who have left this party way too early. Trash The Room will we be laughing out the other end of our board shorts when we are lounging on Katoomba Beach. Cheaters TV – time for a reality cheque Okinawa Cowboys - Johnny go marching home !blakhatz is Guru Greg on vocals, guitar, programming and horoscopes: Doctor Mark J on bass, guitar and vocals ; Diamond Jem on drums, ukulele, keys and vocals.
Raised in the musical caves of Australia. they have played (under a different guise) the Albert Hall, jungles of Borneo, the Swiss Alps, Brixton and Florida.

Who's cover ed by blakhatz I Can see for miles.
First time we've posted a cover so please excuse.
Live Recording of band with a couple of overdubs , acc/el guitar and bvz.
Was such a buzz to play this song live ...our bass player breaking in a new les paul and Diamond jem on double bass beaters just like the legendary Kieth Moon himself.
Too much fun for old dudes who won't give up rocking.

GOOD ENOUGH 4 ELVIS

GOOD ENOUGH 4 ELVIS
blakhatz
If it’s good enough for Elvis it’s good enough for me

I used to be so skinny I hid from the bright daylight
Wasting all my money flying high both day and night
 Got sick of feeling paranoid unsure who were my friends
No more shopping with a gun just prescription pad and pen

I got shot of Heroin
Turned my nose up at the coke
Put the breaks on speed no more do I toke
LSD and ecstasy no longer have their hooks in me
And sniffer dogs just leave me alone
ch
If it was good enough for Elvis it’s good enough for me
Dying rich and famous trousers round your knees
Don’t need no sleezy pushers or midnight rendezvous
If I can get my drugs street legal so can you

Dr White I’m feeling blue a double dose of reds will do
Dr Black panic attack ,pink and yellows pull me back
Dr Green’s sweet blister packs technicolour Cadilacs
And some southern deep fried comfort on my plate
Seals my fate
Too much never enough
Ch_2
If it was good enough for Elvis it’s good enough for me
Dying rich and famous trousers round your knees
Don’t need no sleezy pushers or midnight rendezvous
If I can get my drugs street legal so can you
